flow-chart-arrow
is a simple React component designed to draw arrows between two HTML elements, indicating a directional relationship. This component is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to visually represent connections between nodes, such as in flow diagrams or organizational charts.
You can install flow-chart-arrow via npm:
npm install flow-chart-arrow
To use flow-chart-arrow in your React application, import it and include it in your JSX markup, providing the necessary props:
import React from "react";
import Arrow from "flow-chart-arrow";
const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<div>
<div id="startNode">Start Node</div>
<div id="endNode">End Node</div>
<Arrow
startNodeId="startNode"
endNodeId="endNode"
direction="horizontal"
/>
</div>
);
};
export default MyComponent;
-
startNodeId
(string, required): The ID of the HTML element representing the starting point of the arrow. -
endNodeId
(string, required): The ID of the HTML element representing the ending point of the arrow. -
direction
(string, required): The direction of the arrow. Can be either "horizontal" or "vertical".
- Dynamic Positioning: Arrow adjusts its position dynamically based on window resize and scroll events, ensuring accurate representation even when the page layout changes.
- Marker End: The arrowhead is automatically added to the end of the arrow, enhancing visual clarity.
- This component assumes that the provided start and end nodes are present in the DOM. Ensure that the IDs provided correspond to valid HTML elements.
- For optimal performance, avoid excessive re-renders of Arrow by optimizing the parent component's rendering logic.
